    It's absolutely a need unless you want to keep buying the crappy failing OEM mounts over and over and over.

    Replaced my NM inserts with Colin's VT unit. Get some vibration at start-up, but it goes away (or we get used to it) after a few miles. No noticeable vibration at highway speeds.

    Reason I got one was to minimize engine rolling over under high torque conditions. My air hoses kept coming loose when the engine rolls --- not enough hose flexing. "Hump hoses" (have fun with that ---) help, but just slow down the loosening. 30PSI boost doesn't help either, but I'm not gonna give that up!

    Now to figure out how to measure the engine "roll", without just watching it on a dyno.

    Excellent! Colin has been pushing for them to make these for a while now.

    I'm interested. But, what are the differences between this and the NM Engineering insert?

    This is a complete replacement part and not a insert that just stiffens the OEM part that will fail.

    At $175 I'd say it's more of a want than a need!
